I never owned a Kraft myself, but did build two Heathkit radios.  They
were essentially a Kraft in kit form.  At the time, they were really
good units.  Let's see, $200 got you a 5 channel radio, AM, no servo reverse,
basic square box construction, no dual rates, and you had to build it
yourself!  As we all know, things have come a long way!
